The 00-01 Lakers played 76ers who came out of a weak Eastern Conference that season and lost a game they had no business losing. The 95-96 Bulls (72 wins) played the Sonics who many forget had won 67 games that year.

SENATOR, 2 GMs, one basketball player that owns $20 million dollars of Island property and one guy with a record label.The bench had some guy that as a coach won 10 NBA titles, pretty smart too.

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 02:08:33 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102363I said this when shaq retired. he’s possibly the best player to have ever played when he was in his prime. if he could have shot even just 20% better at the ft line he would’ve been 1st in a few more categories when he called it quits. should’ve taken better care of himself as well.

For the record – Magic was lost to injury early in the series and the team was built abound him and his passing. They didn’t have time to figure out what to do without Magic playing…..maybe if the coaching staff was given a few weeks to come up with something……………

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:44:28 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102318There have been a lot of dominant teams over the years… Thats the problem with this list. Everyone’s 5 is bound to be different.

You’re better off breaking this down to different eras. The Celtics string of titles in the 50s and 60s is daunting but no one is really going to compare that to modern free agency.

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:09:41 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102313At least the writer had enough sense to list the Bucks team. Too many young fans nowadays (and probably this writer) have no clue about just how dominant Lew Alcindor was when he came in the league.

How they are 5th is a mystery. Shaq would have been the only player to even have a chance to bother Alcindor but even he would have been destroyed. The Bulls had no center and would have been killed. The Sixers had Moses Malone who also would have been destroyed by Alcindor.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the greatest basketball player of all time from high school, through college, and into the pros. Who else touches his resume? Only Bill Russell can try and claim the top spot since he won a couple of college championships.

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:03:30 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102310I agree that there’s no way the Thunder could jump into this top 5. But I am surprised that nobody’s mentioned the possibility that, with a Finals sweep (or even a win in 5), they might at least be able to knock on the door. 12-3 against three teams that look awesome on paper, each with a Hall of Fame player. Sure, the Mavericks were deeply flawed and the Lakers look much better on paper than they do on the court, but that’s still damn impressive. If the Thunder manage to finish 16-3 or 16-4, that’s a borderline all-time great run, featuring a team full of players nowhere near their primes yet.

In a word: yikes.

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 21:56:46 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102307I refuse to put the Lakers over the 72-10 record breaking Bulls even if we’re talkin playoffs. They lost points losing to the Sixers. That should’ve been a sweep.

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:33:19 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102290Game 1 of the ’01 Finals. My greatest memory as a Sixers fan. We lost the series, but nobody was beating the Lakers. Rust or not, the Sixers got in Goliath’s ass that night.

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:58:37 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102276Agree on the Lakers. Shaq was so dominant that year I remember rumors about changing the rules of the game for offense foul / defensive foul. He was the most unguardable player I have ever seen, that year. Certainly MJ and others were more clutch – but literally there was no way to guard Shaq that year.

I remember the loss too – Allen Iverson draining the corner shot and stepping over the fallen Laker.

15-1 is sick!!!! That’s why Phil Jackson is better than Gregg Popovich!!! Every great coach has players that can win enough!!! It’s about the next step!!!

In order to beat the Lakers playoff dominance of 2001 you need to go 16-0!!!

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:16:36 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=138045#comment-102248I think you could put that Lakers team in there in place of the 90-91 Bulls. The list is pretty solid tho. A case can be made for all of them.
